I think you need to tell us what is wrong with what you get from that. 
When I look at the result:

 > cat(paste("variable", 1), "\n")
variable 1

I see no quotation marks.  (If you use print() you'll see some, but they 
aren't part of the string, they are just used in the default display by 
print().)
